Actinggirl12问道：

"How can I tell my parents that I think I have depression?"

“我怎么告诉父母我认为自己有抑郁症？”

Wow.

哇哦。

This is such an important question. It depends what type of communicator you are. People who are not too verbal, letters are always good.

这是一个非常重要的问题。这取决于你是哪种沟通者。如果是不太擅长语言表达的人，那写信是个好方法。

My suggestion is not to wait.

我的建议是不要再等了。

I think you should just tell them straight-on.

我认为你应该直接告诉他们。

It's not a bad thing telling them that you're depressed. It's something that they could help you not become depressed with.

告诉他们你感到抑郁并不是坏事。他们可以帮助你不再抑郁。

Straight-up being honest with them and what you think it is that could be causing it. Depression is a really serious thing.

直接告诉他们实话，还要告诉他们你认为造成你抑郁的原因。抑郁症是一件非常严重的事情。

If the thing that's depressing you is something you don't really want to tell people, you have to be able to confide in your parents with that information.

即使让你感到抑郁的事情是你极其不想告诉其他人的事，你也必须将这件事告诉你的父母。

I know parents may not understand that. They think depression's just being sad, but it's not. It's a real thing. That's something serious that you really should tell your parents.

我知道父母可能不会理解。他们认为抑郁症的表现只是感到难过，但其实并不是。抑郁症是真实存在的。而且抑郁症是非常严重的事情，所以你应该要告诉你的父母。

Be honest with them. Tell them that you have something that you want to talk to them about. And I'm 100% sure that they'll understand. They just want the best for you.

和他们说实话。告诉他们你有事情想和他们谈。我100%肯定他们会理解的。他们都是为了你好。

Be up front with it. This is a syndrome that a lot of people are dealing with. And stick with good, positive people. Your parents can help you out here, but you gotta let them know. Let them in on it.

去坦白。这是很多人都在应对的一种综合症。和优秀、积极的人待在一起。你的父母可能帮助你，不过首先你要让他们知道这件事。让他们参与进来。

Tell them exactly what issues you're having. You know, "I don't feel like I can get out of bed in the morning. I don't feel like I can handle situations all my friends are having no trouble handling." To self-diagnose yourself with depression is something that's really difficult because I think that everyone goes through a period in time when they're not sure if they're a normal teenager and they're just having hormones or if they're really having a medical problem.

明确告诉他们你的问题。你知道，“我早上不想起床。我的朋友处理起来完全没问题的事情我却不能处理。”自我诊断是否患有抑郁症非常难，因为我认为所有人都会经历这样的时期，即不确定自己是否是普通的青少年，不确定是否只是荷尔蒙在作祟，或者是否真的有健康问题。
